Vancouver – Members of the Customs and Immigration Union (CIU) and the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) will be demonstrating in support of ongoing national bargaining efforts toward a new collective agreement for members of the FB group (Border Services) on Thursday December 14, 2017, starting at 11AM, at the Peace Arch border crossing.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada will be holding an electronic vote for members of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to ratify the tentative agreement between PSAC and CFIA.
The voting period will be from January 15 to February 15, 2018.

PSAC is happy to announce that a new collective agreement has been ratified by members of PSAC/DCL 20500 working for the Corps of Commissionaires on Vancouver Island.
The new contract, which expires in March 2019 includes a wage increase, improvements to bereavement leave, an increase in paid sick leave days, and better language around seniority,

Our bargaining team held three days of bargaining with SSO during the week of November 20. We focused on our key bargaining issues: hours of work, job security and term employment. We did this with the support of our members across the country.

A tentative agreement between Public Service Alliance of Canada and Canada Post Corporation has been reached early Sunday morning in Ottawa. The deal, covering more than 1,300 workers, provides for continued job security for CPC employees who are members of PSAC/UPCE and includes other improvements to the collective agreement.

Our bargaining team met with the Parks Canada Agency during the week of November 20, 2017.
While we went into this week feeling optimistic about reaching a tentative agreement, we are extremely frustrated to report one was not achieved.

Our Team and Employer made final arguments on November 23, 2017.
As per the Public Service Labour Relations Act, our FB Bargaining Team filed for conciliation earlier this year when it became clear that the employer was not prepared to seriously address our issues, including parity with other law enforcement agencies and matters related to hours of work such as protections for compressed work weeks, VSSA’s and telework.
